This is one of those dinners I make when I want something real but don’t have the energy for complicated. The chicken gets golden, then turns sticky and citrusy in the pan while the sauce thickens (aka it smells amazing and everyone suddenly appears in the kitchen). I throw together a simple romaine salad, slice the chicken on top, add everything bagel seasoning, and call it a win. It’s light but filling, gluten-free, and feels like a reset after a long, chaotic day.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
- 5 ozs Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup Orange Juice
- 1 tbsp Tamari
- 2 tsps Raw Honey
- 1/3 Lemon (medium, juiced)
- 3 leaves Romaine (medium, chopped)
- 1 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions:
- Heat half of the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add it to the pan and cook for five minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, tamari, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the mixture to the pan and cover with a lid. Cook on medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, flipping halfway.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the romaine and toss well.
- Transfer the salad to a plate. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the salad. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and enjoy!
